I admit...I thought he'd be a great fit on Crosby's wing when he was still with the Preds. I don't know if it was just the organization or if he always had a screw loose and I never saw it due to limited exposure, but he ended up being a complete clown. I'm glad the Pens never got the chance at him.

If I remember correctly, Hartnell's whiney fist slam was right before his chance to shoot. Do you think it was because he was going to be called on to shoot and knew it could turn out...well...like it did?

It kind of reminded me of, you know, that kid whose dad makes him play baseball and hopes that the ball never gets hit to him in right field...

he is still an effin' clown though. and a total loser..

it's easy. hartnell was embarrassed, and the ony way he deals with his personal problems is to be a bully. of course he ran sabu on purpose. and this explains a lot about his play. someone that stupid who looks like that has a lot of built up anger over 30 or so years.
